Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
- Nonfood-Contact Surfaces - Corrosion Resistant/Nonabsorbent (repeated violation)
Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the cardboard being used to line shelves and to hold food in refrigerators is not corrosion resistant, nonabsorbent, and/or smooth.
Correction: Nonfood contact equipment that is exposed to splash, spillage, food soiling, or requires frequent cleaning must be smooth, durable, and nonabsorbent.

- Floors, Walls, and Ceilings - Cleanability
Observation: Ceiling in kitchen is not smooth and easily cleanable.
Correction: Repair or replace ceiling to make it smooth and easily cleanable.
- Premises - Maintaining Premises - Unnecessary Items and Litter
Observation: Facility is storing unnecessary items to the operation or maintenance of the establishment in the basement storage area.
Correction: Remove all unnecessary items from the facility. The presence of unnecessary articles, including equipment which is no longer used, makes regular and effective cleaning more difficult and less likely. It can also provide harborage for insects and rodents.

- Critical: Eating, Drinking, or Using Tobacco*
Observation: The cook is drinking from an uncovered container in the food preparation area.
Correction: Employees may drink from a closed beverage container if the container is handled to prevent contamination of (1) The employee's hands, (2) The container, and (3) Exposed food, clean equipment, utensils, and linens, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles.
- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site)
Observation: In walk in cooler, raw foods of animal origin stored over ready-to-eat (RTE) food-fruit in the refrigeration unit.
Correction: Separate raw foods of animal origin during storage, preparation, holding, and display from raw RTE food including foods such as fish for sushi or molluscan shellfish, or other raw RTE food such as vegetables, and cooked RTE food.
- Food Contact Surfaces - Cleanability*
Observation: The food contact surface of the cardboard used to hold food in the service area such as wontons is cardboard, absorbant and not designed or constructed to be smooth and it contains cracks, chips, or pits that can not be easily cleaned.
Correction: Replace the cardboard to provide a food contact surface that is smooth and easily cleanable, free of breaks, open seams, cracks, chips, pits, sharp internal angles, corners, and crevices to prevent build-up of food debris.
- Critical: Equipment and Utensils - Hot Water and Chemical Sanitizing* (corrected on site)
Observation: Due to improper operation of the low temperature chemical sanitizing mechanical warewashing machine, equipment food-contact surfaces and utensils are not sanitized after cleaning. (See 12 VAC 5-421-1700)
Correction: Repair the unit to restore chemical sanitization. Verify the level of sanitizer and continually monitor by the use of test strips/kit.
- Toilet Rooms - Enclosed
Observation: Employee toilet room door is not provided with a self-closing door
Correction: Provide a self-closer for the toilet room door. Completely enclosed toilet facilities minimize the potential for the spread of disease by the movement of flies and other insects between the toilet facility and food preparation areas.
- Outer Openings - Protected
Observation: Outer opening of the food establishment is not protected against entry of insects and rodents. Back door has gap at bottom and needs weatherstripping.
Correction: Protect the food establishment against the entry of insects and rodents by 1. Filling or closing holes and other gaps along floors, walls, and ceilings, 2. Closed, tight fitting windows, and 3. Solid, self-closing, tight-fitting doors.

- Cooling Methods (repeated violation)
Observation: The methods used for cooling were not adequate.
Correction: Cool foods by the following methods: 1. Placing food in shallow pans 2. Separating food into smaller thinner portions 3. Using rapid chill cooling equipment 4.

Correction: Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
- Nonfood-Contact Surfaces - Corrosion Resistant/Nonabsorbent
Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the dishracks are stained and are not corrosion resistant, nonabsorbent, and/or smooth.
Correction: Nonfood contact equipment that is exposed to splash, spillage, food soiling, or requires frequent cleaning must be smooth, durable, and nonabsorbent.
- Critical: Equipment and Utensils - Before Use After Cleaning* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: The food-contact surfaces of the following equipment were not observed sanitized: no chlorine residual detected when first tested.
Correction: After cleaning and rinsing of the food-contact surface, the surface shall be effectively sanitized before coming in contact with food and before use. Operator corrected by priming sanitizer dispenser.
- Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions (repeated violation)
Observation: floors under, sides, and walls behind equipment had heavy buildup of grease and noted in need of cleaning.
Correction: All floors, walls, and ceilings must be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean.
